Paving the Path Forward: the 2026 Summer Soiree

Join us for an unforgettable evening at Dunham Tavern Museum & Gardens’ annual Summer Soiree, to “Pave the Path Forward!” As we gather to celebrate, we proudly unveil our new Heritage Trail—a thoughtfully designed walking path that invites visitors to explore the natural beauty and rich stories woven throughout our grounds.

Nestled within vibrant greenspace, Dunham Tavern stands as a cherished historic treasure, connecting past generations to the present. This year’s event highlights not only the preservation of our museum but also our commitment to creating meaningful experiences for the future. The Heritage Trail symbolizes growth, accessibility, and a renewed dedication to welcoming all who seek to learn, reflect, and connect.

The Summer Soiree offers an elegant evening of community spirit, engaging conversation, and support for a place that holds deep cultural significance. Your sponsorship of the Soiree helps sustain our mission to preserve history while expanding opportunities for education and engagement. Together, we can honor the legacy of Dunham Tavern while paving a bright and lasting path forward!
